Knipton is a charming village in the Vale of Belvoir. With beautiful yellow sandstone houses around the village centre, it truly is a picturesque place. Despite its fairly small population, the village boasts a thriving village shop and post office, a hairdressers, a village pub, a village hall, a Norman church, a cricket ground and a bowls club. It is a great place for a pit-stop when hiking in the area.

Don’t let the name fool you, although a truckstop this place makes the ideal stop on a long ride. Massive choice of good food hot and cold. Even get a beer if you want. Can lock bikes up round the back.
